Hello! My name is Karin! With an I.......There has been one passion of mine that will never die.....babies and kids!!!!! I started babysitting when I was 10 yrs old. Seems impossible now! I would never use a 10 yr old for babysitting!!!! But things were different back then and I picked friends who had younger siblings so I could be near them and always wished I had a baby brother or sister. And now at 57 I have 3 children of my own and still work with kids!I was 38 when I decided to have my eldest, I was in love at first sight! The love of my life and the heart and soul of his nana!!!!! I lost my second when I was 5 weeks along. I still ache for this lost soul:(. It was then that I decided I would go into foster care and adopt a baby, a sibling for my son. Having lost my mom when my son was just 11/2, I knew one day my son would be alone and I did not want that for him. My deciding to adopt from foster care has had it's ups and downs, but what in life doesn't! One thing that always ticked me off was how kids came into care, even from one foster home to another, most times with the clothes they have on their backs. So, in my life I would like to leave my kids knowing they are my life and why I go on, and I want to show them that we show our love by caring!!!We live in a nice home, 3 kids, mom, 9 cats and one dog.........That is me!!!!!

On top of kids, my passion is pets! I love them! I can not stand anyone who is unkind to an animal. There are so many organizations that do GREAT things to help animals in need. There are some that are very close to my heart for one reason or another. I am going to add a page for them, causes that you can help donate too. I will pick those that I love and am aware of, but I am sure there are some you may know of that I do not. Please contact me with their information. In the meantime, please look at the other organizations that I would love to get help for because of the wonderful things they do each and every day!
